You know what I'm doing an assignment right now on Billie Joe I find it contradictive of him to say these things, I mean he's right about what he's talking about but in the end i've been trying to find examples of his contribution and i've found nothing.

pretty sure Billie wrote it so it's his song to do what the f*** he wants with it. Should read, "Performed by Billie Joe Armstrong" i don't hear any bass drums or back-up vocals so why the Green Day tag?

Yes, you're right, it was by a band called Pinhead Gunpowder and Billy Joe was the singer. However, after the band split, Billy Joe respectively owns copyright to the song and Green Day does now technically own it along with Pinhead Gunpowder. They didn't perform it though because he wanted to show respect to the other members of Pinhead Gunpowder.

This song actually isn't Green Day. It's by a band called Pinhead Gunpowder with Billie Joe as a singer.

I think that Billie is very brave to air this, no other musician would have the guts to say how they really feel.But many of Green days more recent songs have been taking tje mick.
This is a very moving song and it portrays all the lies and phoneys that are portrayed during war,how 1 person can make a difference
"How can i rationalise my life during wartime lies?"
